Imagine your best technical specialist delivering their findings to a room of decision-makers. Their data is compelling, but the audience seems lost. Why? Numbers, stats, and data aren't easily digestible. To help decision-makers understand their findings, technical specialists need to create a narrative around their data. They need to explain why the data matters and what it means for business. See our article, The Power of Storytelling in Data Interpretation, in Training Industry, Inc. for storytelling tips for technical leaders ?? https://lnkd.in/eCXAUMXC

People want to work for organizations that align with their values. But, purpose is deeply personal—and hard to define at the individual level. Dana M. Smith, SPHR, SHRM-SCP advises leaders to focus on four key areas: ?? Authenticity (your leadership should align with your values and actions.) ?? Connection (work towards understanding your people as individuals.) ?? Purpose (create an environment where employees can bring their best selves.) ?? Communication (talk, talk, talk–about purpose, values, and how they shape work.) “Make time for introspection and values discussions,” Dana says. “Your people have the answers—invite them to share.” For an in-depth look at Dana Smith's advice: https://lnkd.in/dp6SbqJG #Leadership #ExecutiveCoaching #PurposeDriven
